Station 19

Okay, you should put them in two parallel lines

from here all the way to there. Yeah, I got it right here.

Alright, I know you love her, but does she have to tell us

where to put cones in our own house?

If I say it, I'm an unsupportive girlfriend.

Alright, hey, doctor number one, doctor number two

we can figure out how to direct traffic.

Do you know how far aerosolized saliva droplets can travel?

Do you know what causes a fire hazard?

And what do I win for knowing both?

Okay. Arrange them how you must for safety,

but the cones should be at least two meters apart.

Also for safety.

You know, it's pretty nice having another M. D. Around.

Maybe they'll start calling you "Dad" instead of me.

Hey, Trav, I'm placing the grocery order in a minute.

Do you st... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

God, fine. Whatever. Okay.

Do you still need fish sauce?

No. I found the extra bottle that I hid for myself.

Did you also happen to find a couple of pounds of flour?

'Cause everywhere is out. Yeah, check under my bed.

Seriously?

No, you weirdo.

Look, I don't know.

I'm glad you two are back to being you two.

I felt the Earth tilt off its axis for a second there.

Hey, um, I'm sorry if I was harsh

about the "letting it go" thing.

That wasn't really fair...

No, it... it was fair.

And you were right.

And... I'm ready.

Yeah? Yeah.

I... I think I'm actually ready to move on.

Did you meet somebody?

No.

I'm... just... ready to, I guess.

Well, you and me both, dude.

Okay, so, at the front of the garage

will be firefighter Cutler.

He will be the first point of contact

for our drive-thru patients.

Then the cars will drive as far forward as possible

and land at one of our testers.

Carina, we should limit the number of cars

in here at a time to limit carbon monoxide.

Then they can turn their cars off.

We need to be efficient.

You are scared of your girlfriend.

Scared? No. Afraid I might have pissed her off, maybe.

Good morning, everyone. I'm Dr. Carina DeLuca and this...

Miche... Michelle?

Prima! Hi!

What are you... Are you here to test?

Yeah, Mami and Papi are in the line, in the car.

I just... I came in to warn you.

Right.

So, um, which one's Robert?

I see. You have a hidden agenda.

Prima, you have been coming to our barbecues every Sunday since April,

and not once have you brought your man.

I met your roommate before I met him.

P.S., is she still dating the Italian?

Because she's cute... Okay. You know what?

Hey, how's Marsha doing?

Yeah, n-no change.

You know, it kind of pisses me off, all these people,

you know, who refuse to wear masks.

And then I remember that,

Marsha's actually one of those people.

God, I hate COVID. Yeah.

I just hope she pulls through.

And that we get lots of calls today.

Well, who needs calls when we have

a whole city of nostrils to swab?

Remind me, why are we letting

half our neighborhood into our well-maintained bubble?

Well, we're in the middle of a pandemic,

and we're first responders,

and it's a way to help our community.

Or it's a way to let gross, germy people into our bubble.

What the...

What happened?

Marsha's son, he enacted his power of attorney.

They're... They're taking her off her vent today.

Sir.

At ease.

Miller, could we have a word?

Yeah.

No, Hughes, you can stay.

You know my name.

You cried at me during an inspection.

You think I could forget that?

So, Miller, did you know

that our own union once sued the city

after they promoted the first Black battalion chief?

They thought it was discrimination

against his white, "more qualified" peers.

You know what happened?

They lost?

After years of litigation.

You disagree with the lawsuit.

Yes, it's loud and divisive

and creates further mistrust and tension.

Our communities do not need to be questioning

who they can turn to in the middle of a pandemic.

They should feel safe. I want them to feel safe, sir, pandem...

Then don't make them mistrust the very people

who are supposed to help them.

They should mistrust them, sir. Okay.

What would you have your own family do

instead of calling the cops?

Community intervention, social services,

de-escalation... All those things

they require the cooperation of first responders.

Now, look, I'm not saying that things don't need to change.

I'm just saying that how you force change, it matters.

You're saying play the game.

I got to go.

It's good seeing you both.

Sir.

Maya, we have patients.

And they are being taken care of, okay?

You are snapping at everyone.

And I get being stressed.

I get if it's even residual grief.

But I would not be a good girlfriend if I didn't ask...

Are you okay?

My visa is expiring,

and I might have to go back to Italy.

Wait. What? How? I-I don't understand.

When I first came here, my study sponsored me with an H-1B visa,

and I sent in the renewal application last month,

but the President just shut down all immigration offices.

How can he do that?

Maya, I don't have time to teach you about the

the screwed-up immigration laws of this country.

I have to get back out there.

Okay, okay. Just...

When?

Next month.

Okay.

Have you had a chance to finish the,

Hi, honey.

Dad, Mom. What are you doing here?

We came to get tested.

Isn't that what everybody's doing here?

Right, but you didn't have to drive

an hour across town just to do that.

I brought my spicy beef soup.

That's great.

I couldn't get an appointment anywhere else.

Your father needs a test.

You have a known exposure?

Well, yeah. I mean, it's not for certain,

but a friend, you know...

A friend he golfs with, his wife tested positive.

Yeah.

A friend... you golf with?

His wife has tested positive for COVID?

Go park the car and let's talk.

Good, we get to go in!

It's probably not gonna be a social visit, Mom.

Can't we do the test in the car like everybody else?

No, you may not. Go park the car, Dad.

Your results are gonna be e-mailed to you

in two or three days.

Until then, continue to enjoy your honeymoon bubble.

We will.

Babe, he's a stranger.

We're newlyweds. We get to be gross.

That you do. Yeah. Mwah!

Congratulations. Thank you so much.

Morning. Hi.

I'm Robert.

Before we get started,

is all the information on your forms accurate?

You are very tall, Robert.

It makes buying pants much harder.

Isn't that... Hang on.

Yes, everything is correct.

So, Robert

how long have you been a... a firefighter?

Do you have any hobbies outside of rescuing kittens

or administering COVID tests?

Do we...

Alvarez?

- Alvarez! - There you go.

Tia Sandra! Sister-cousin Michelle.

Tio Johnny.

Hey, I told you he'd know who we are.

Hey, nice to finally meet you. Yeah.

Robert, you have very kind eyes.

Muy guapo?

Okay!

Bilingual there?

Hey, do you know where Maya is?

I just... I wanted to say hi.

Maya's the other big boss.
